Watson's Recommends: Tiger Eyes sumac

Tiger Eyes sumac are known for their bold color and are a favorite accent plant at Watson’s. In springtime foliage starts out chartreuse then shifts to a vibrant gold in the fall–both colors contrast nicely against fuzzy rosey-pink stems. Branches angle upwards and deeply cut leaves sweep down, giving them a soft feathery feel. Tiger Eyes are hardy and tolerate a variety of soils, making them perfect for just about any sunny spot in your yard.
